It is my opinion that adding anything to the coolant to seal leaks is a bad idea. Whatever film or barrier it uses to plug the hole is evenly distributed over the entire coolant area including the radiator. I have to believe that would somehow make the radiator less efficient and add an unnecessary film to everything. Just my opinion.
In regards to your slow leak, did you check the radiator cap to make sure the valve is working correctly? To bad about the flooding, I hope everything works out.

Thanks to all those that have come back and made suggestions - I'll give them a go. It will take me a little time though as we had an intense hail storm here the other night flooding my garage (pictures and video of flood at my place http://www.rockbeareweather.co.uk/Previous%20data/301008%20flood.html and of hail feet deep http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7700167.stm ) and it appears I'll be without the use of it for a little longer than I thought. In the meantime does anyone have any good reason(s) why I shouldn't try a product like Holts Radweld http://www.holtsauto.com/products/index.html (it's under maintenance) as a temporary fix?
